Despite what the website says, they served sandwiches and kept the jury out of the cafeteria once trial started. There was a refrigerator.

Cell phones were confiscated supposedly to avoid any photographs.

Can't say much more. In her case the defendant absconded at the first lunch recess after the trial started.
